Placebo as per Wikipedia is defined as a simulated or otherwise medically ineffectual treatment for a disease or other medical condition intended to deceive the recipient.

And in today's world you have enough and more crack-pot pseudo-science & claims to go around like Healing Crystals, Energy Meditation, Fragrances, Auras, Rekhi healing, Homeopathy, Praying and Spiritual healings. And to add to all this comes another crackpot theory & pseudoscience called -- Emotional Freedom Technique or Tapping. During these sessions, the client will focus on specific issues while tapping on so called "end points of the body's energy meridians".

Jack Canfield will all his success with Chicken Soup Series and then the Self Improvement Material, has started to do anything and everything to ensure he achieves his vision of becoming the Author who has sold 1 billion books worldwide. But at what price?

In this metaphysical book, Jack Canfield along with Pamela Burner have come up with this inordinate theory that tapping into different parts of the body will produce changes in your emotional states. And then to add even more value to this theory, they have come up with this DVD where they give you a live video based example.

Now though I have an open mind into learning new things, I experimented with this so called theory and found it to be absolutely futile. I mean what a bloody waste of time, money and effort into a claim that is as ridiculous and stupid as believing in Santa Clause, the Tooth Fairy and Flying Unicorns.

Jack Canfield in his quest to become a 1 Billion Books Author is slowly yet surely joining the ranks of so many one-time-famous authors like Brian Tracy, Zig Ziglar and Tom Hopkins who are today a dying breed. There is no demand for their material and if there is, it may only suit beginners who have never read a single book in their life. In fact, what worked for these authors is no longer going to prove effective because people have realized a simple truth - Just because you have achieved success as a Businessman, Speaker and Author, does not mean everyone who purchases your stuff is going to achieve the same result. A sad attempt by a once big brand. And to add to the misery -- other authors like Brain Tracy, Marci Shimoff, John Gray (can you believe -- even him!) and T. Harv Eker have given their testimonials to help him sell the book -- so that Jack Canfield can do them the favor in return.

To me, this book was an absolute waste of time and money and among the many books, I rate this one of the worst books of the decade. Please -- Do not accept this book even if it came in for free.

Overall Rating
Zero out of 10.
